YAY! It's an upload!!!! Sorry about the timing - I know I've had ages, but this chapter did not want to be written!!!!

Any way, this chapter didn't end up how I meant it to, so sorry if it pisses any of you off!

WARNING: may be triggering to some readers.

P.S. The song is "Bullet" by Hollywood Undead because it's one of the "happy songs" they listen to, it's also one of the many songs I listened to while writing this chapter (sorry it's only part of the song, it wouldn't play all of it!!)

P.P.S. The pictures accompanying "Bullet" are of Kira's Converse (I want them ALL!)

P.P.P.S. Please VOTE, COMMENT, and FAN!!!

When I awoke the next morning, I was drenched in sweat. Carefully I untangled myself from the duvet and crept to my en suite.

A few minutes of hot water easing my tense muscles later, I heard Jade wake in the other room - she'd hear where I was, so I didn't say anything.

She left my room and went to hers to shower. When I'd had enough of the pounding water on my shoulder, I stepped out of the bathroom in my skull towel and traipsed towards my over-flowing wardrobe.

I found a pair of black skinny jeans in no time, a decent, not ripped, t-shirt (Black Veil Brides) and some underwear. All I need now are socks.

As I looked through my messy wardrobe for clothes, my fingers met the glossy smoothness of a photo. As I retrieved the tiny square of paper from the sea of clothes, I gasped. It's the picture Jade took of Dawn and me on our fifteenth birthday. It's the last photo she was ever in.

I sank to the floor, clutching the photo to my chest. I will not break down. I will not break down, was the mantra coursing through my mind.

I didn't break down though, regardless to the memories it brought up.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" everyone cheered as we blew out our thirty candles on our gummy bear cake. No kidding, it was shaped as a gummy bear and was covered in them!

"Thanks," we laughed as Jade stole a pineapple gummy bear off the cake. "Tut tut Jade, stealing the Princess' property? We'll have to punish you!" I joked, and she mock-winced.

"I'm sorry! Please forgive me! It's just that gummy bears are epical!" she cried, clutching her heart.

"I think we should ban her from gummy bears for the night!" Dawn whispered to me, knowing that regardless to how quiet she said it, the proximity between us and the criminal was too little for her sensitive hearing to not pick up. That's why we were expecting her to take a few steps back, which she did.

"Jade, you are not permitted to consume any gummy bears all night, that includes the vodka, the cake and any gummy bears you have hidden away in your bedroom," I told her in all seriousness.

"NO! You can't do that! Anything else - yes, but not that!"she cried again.

"We made our decision, no gummy bears," Dawn said. And I just had to burst out laughing.

"Let's go drink some shit!" I yelled, and everyone cheered, it was only eight o'clock.

"Yay!" Dawn and Jade chorused as we headed off towards the drinks table. Yes, I know what you're thinking, we're fifteen and all, but the shifter laws state that you have to be fourteen to drink so 'yay!'
